New Session Starts Soon!

KFAD — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 18:10:01 +0000

KFAD starts its new session on January 14, 2010, from 4-6 PM. If you’re thinking of joining us, the time to act is now.

We’ve made some changes with this session. First of all, you must reserve your space in the session before we begin, as we have limited space. Also, Marge will be casting on the first day.

Our actors will be performing two different plays: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Three Billy Goats Gruff. The cast will be divided based on experience and age. The younger group will perform Three Billy Goats Gruff, and the older (seasoned) children will perform The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

The tuition price remains the same: $100.00 per child, or $150.00 for the discounted family rate. To reserve your spot, call Marge Austin at 608-774-4140.

Once again Space is limited! Please e-mail myself or contact Marge at 774-4140 to reserve your child A.S.A.P. Call soon!

A Christmas Carol Success

KFAD — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:16:39 +0000

Last weekend, our production of the musical version of A Christmas Carol went off wonderfully. The kids and the staff all did a fantastic job and entertained hundreds of theatergoers each day. Our fantastic and talented group of actors truly made us proud!

On a sad note, our musical advisor, Henry DeBruyne, fell on his way out of our final dress rehearsal and broke his hip. After surgery last Saturday, he seems to be doing well and is on his way to recovering soon. We scrambled to find a pianist to substitute for him at our performances and thankfully wound up with two wonderful gems.

Many thanks to those brave proxies for Henry, as well as to all of the friends and family who did so much to support us throughout the entire season. Look here in January for news about signing up for our spring production. We hope to see you back in 2009!
